This school year we are working hard to improve a district wide program that has been placed in my school. This program allows for more supports in the areas of social-emotional learning. We have a wholeness room but are hoping to bring some of theses useful tools into the classroom setting so they can be used throughout the day!
One of our main goals is teaching self regulation and meditation to all of our students. We have been practicing mindful using yoga poses during quiet time. All of the students have responded so well to this program that it would be amazing to have a deck of Yoga cards in each room, along with supports from the calming techniques book and breathing spheres (expandable spheres). We have also seen an increase of academic focus following these activities.
Our students experience a lot of trauma in their every day lives. It is crucial to provide them with the right tools to calm their bodies and brains, so they can feel safe and ready to learn within the classroom! Tools such as dimmed lighting, lap snakes, chewies and yoga balls for flexible seating, allow students to calm their bodies and feel safe within the classroom setting.
Lastly, when providing students with different methods to self regulate it's important to teach them that it's okay to be different and need different tools in school to succeed. Bullying books and visuals will assist in teaching this very important lesson.
